The sons were:Thomas Jefferson (who was a breveted General in the Civil War), Stephen Howard, Henry Clay,Daniel Webster and James Allen.He was elected to the Senate of TN in 1835.Meanwhile, he had platted the town of Brownsville. After one year he resigned from the Senate, as he had planned to relocate in IL where there was very good land. His parents had meanwhile moved to Hayward Co., also, and both of them died there and are buried in the Sevier family plot in Oakwood Cemetery, Brownbville, as a granddaughter had m. a Sevier. william built a cabin on Indian Creek of Spoon River, a mile south of what is now Tiulon, IL. Right after arrival, he was elected to the State Legislature from three area counties. While there, he managed to get a bill passed that made Stark County a county, and he also helped pick the spot for the county seat and named it Toulon. He was a very close friend of Abe Lincoln, as was his son, Gen. Thomas J. After 15 years in Stark County, he moved his family to Marshalltown, IA area and built up a nice farm there. He d. 27 JAN 1864. They are both buried in Marshall Town, IA. His father, John Henderson, came from along Taylor's Creek, Hanover, VA. His father was William, who lived and died in VA and his grandfather was Thomas, also living and dying in VA. Thomas' father was another William. I was searching for a good photo of William H. to put in the History of Stark Co. that is currently being written and publiched by the Stark Co. Genealogy Society. If anyone is interested, I am on ancestry.com.I filled in the letters below, but when I previewed my story, they disappeared, so I can't enter them again. Sorry.

I'm wanting to know if a family tree exists for Albert Clay Henderson? He was born 30-Jul-1844 in Blount Co., died in Braggs, OK., 30-Oct-1914 and was buried at South Bethel Cemetery in Braggs. His wife was Mary A. Henderson (Love) born 12 Feb 1853 in Blount Co. and died 07 Feb 1906 and is buried at Holston College Cemetery in Louisville, TN. Albert was a son of William (b. 1806) and Mary (b. 1808) Henderson of Louisville, TN. They are both buried in Holston College Cemetery.

Thank you.

I don't know if I'm part of your family. I was born and raise in California, maybe.

I have hit a wall. Every federal census shows that my great grandfather William L. Henderson was born in Tennessee in 1822. I am looking for his birthplace and the name of his parents and siblings. If anybody has any information I would appreciate.

I've sent you a message. I have a book, an edition of Vergil's works printed in 1825, which blonged to one Lemuel Sanders, and to a John H. Hawkins, and, lastly to Thomas J. Henderson, in Iowa City. There is a piece of stationary from 5554 Woodlawn Avenue, Chicago, taped onto the inside of the front cover, with this written on it:

" To Little Thomas Henderson the third, this quaint old copy of Vergi with the name of his great grandfather on its leaves is given by one who was brought up from childhood to admire, love and revere the name of Thomas J. Henderson.
Darlene Stevens Reeve
December 27
1920 "

The book was printed in Philadelphia in 1825, clearly was in Tennessee, in Iowa City, Iowa, in Illinois; I purchased it in Portland, Maine, about 20 years ago, and now I live in Virginia, Minnesota. It certainly has travelled.

Who is your earliest TN (Henderson) ancestor? William Hendrick Henderson

In what TN counties are you researching? Haywood and VA before

Comments:
William Hendrick and Martha Duke of Louisa Co VA were my ancestors. His 2nd wife was Anne Henderson, dau of Thomas Henderson who d1768. Said William Hendrick was son of William Hendrick of Hanover. It appears likely that the first William Hendrick was married to a Tempy/Temperance Henderson who made charges to a store account of William Henderson in 1750s Hanover. Would like to exchange information with Henderson researchers interested in this. It is possible that there is connection to the name William Hendrick Henderson, as well. His Hendersons and my Hendrick owned adjacent properties, etc. Thank you, Will Hendricks, Chattanooga TN
